Children’s Disaster Services (CDS) is our partner with opportunities at both the local and national level for both Certified Child Life Specialists and child life students. CDS opportunities require you to become a Certified Volunteer through their CDS training. Once a Certified CDS Volunteer you are eligible to deploy to national and local disasters when requested and available.
